Chicory Dips

Chicory (endive) is a bitter tasting salad crop which is often avoided, because people aren't sure what to do with it. You can cook chicory a bit like celery or use it, as described in this recipe, for serving your favourite dips.

Peanut Butter Recipes

Broccoli And Peanut Butter Soup
This might sound like a strange combination, but it works really well. You can use mature broccoli heads or sprouting broccoli for this recipe – whatever you’ve got to hand.

Sprouting Broccoli Stir Fry
This is a great way of using in-season sprouting broccoli and end-of-season, stored carrots. My favourite way of eating this is with Thai-style bean curd, but firm tofu or Halloumi cheese both work well, too. It’s a really quick meal – just 10 minutes – yet is filling and tasty.

Autumn Vegetable Stir Fry
This is a quick and easy way of using up any leftovers in your autumn veg box. We've listed the ingredients we most commonly use, but you can adapt this recipe to suit whatever you've got spare.

Cauliflower Chickpea Pitta Pockets
This is a lovely way of enjoy cauliflower. The chick peas give the meal a nutty flavour and the watercress means it’s packed with nutrients.
If you can get hold of tahini (sesame seed butter), it adds to the flavour and is also full of calcium and essential fatty acids.

Peanut Butter Coleslaw
This coleslaw recipe gets an extra zing with the addition of peanut butter to the sauce. It’s packed with delicious fresh vegetables and fruits, but misses out the traditional onion, which makes it a bit more “lunch-time-friendly”, if you know what I mean!

Sprouted Seed Recipes

Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Sandwiches
This is a delicious way of enjoying hummus, with the sweetness of the sundried tomatoes and the crunchiness of the sprouted seeds. Chickpeas mean it's packed with vitamins and gives you a great energy boost for hours afterwards - and it only takes 5 minutes to make!
